INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

DW, SF, SD Model Coolers

1. LOCATING COOLER ILA-0860 Rev B

It is necessary to properly level cooler to provide adequate drainage and efficient functioning of the unit.
Make sure there is enough room around the cooler to assure good air circulation through the condenser.

2. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
a.

Electrical Supply and Connections

Plug all standard models into 115 volts AC 60-Hertz outlet. Low line voltage is often the cause of service
complaints. Check to see that the line voltage is 110 volts or more with the unit running. Other motors or
heavy appliances should not be used on the same circuit with the cooler. When working on the inside of the
cooler, disconnect from electrical circuit for safety reasons.

use only a three wire grounding type of wire size 16 AWG or larger. DO NOT exceed 20 ft. in length.
The use of ungrounded cords or overload circuit voids compressor warranty.

b.

Initial Start-Up

Turn power on and check to verify that the condenser fan is running.

c. Temperature control

Factory setting of temperature control for a refrigerator is the number 4 position (normal) on the control dial
which will maintain the product at approximately 36
number at a time. Freezer temperature on SD models can be accurately controlled from –10 to +10F.

Excessive tampering with temperature control could lead to service difficulties. For operation above 3000-ft.
altitude, have thermostat adjusted by a qualified service technician.

F. For colder temperatures, turn knob clockwise one

3. EYELET/DIVIDER PLUGS

After installing shelves in desired position push the eyelet plugs (B/A Part #711-022B) into the remaining
unused eyelets and the divider plugs (B/A Part #711-023B) into unused divider holes.

4. CAP CATCHER

To install cap catcher, place slotted holes over the two mounting screws and push down. The mounting
screws are pre-set at the factory for proper installation but should be turned in or out if further adjustment is
required.

5. DEFROSTING – SD MODEL

To defrost the SD freezer compartment, set control dial on 1 or 2 overnight. Cabinet temperature will rise to
about 45 degrees during the defrost period.

6. DRAINAGE– DW, SF, SD MODELS

The condensation drains into a condensate disposal pan located just below the unit compartment grill. This
pan is equipped with wicking to hasten the evaporation process so plumbing is not required. The drain lines
and pan should be thoroughly cleaned periodically as solids and spilled products will not evaporate, resulting
in an unsanitary condition. Should the drain pan become clogged, it should be cleaned with a small round
brush – do not use wire, as this may puncture the plastic drain line.

7. CLEANING

Wash or clean the cooler inside and out at regular intervals to preserve the finish and appearance. If stainless
steel becomes discolored or stained, it should be cleaned with standard cleaners, but not with steel wool.
CONDENSER COILS MUST BE CLEANED AT REGULAR INTERVALS. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN
CAUSE COMPRESSOR MALFUNCTION AND WILL VOID WARRANTY. Clean condenser every 6
months, depending upon usage, dust, etc.
Clean as follows:

DW, SF, SD Models – Remove front grill and vacuum clean surfaces of condenser. (alternate method for
DW, SF, SD) – Direct forced air through condenser from fan side.
